I loved the show but loved it more after seeing the history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visigoth Posted February 2, 2019 #29 Share Posted February 2, 2019 "No daily news papers from US,EU,Australia. Maybe everyone gets their news online." Seriously? Probably missed mail service as well? How on earth would any ship at sea get a daily newspaper from anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously? Probably missed mail service as well? How on earth would any ship at sea get a daily newspaper from anywhere? There used to be daily one sheet (8x11) papers with news pertinent to different countries that were printed daily by the ship. They were usually at guest services next to extra Freestyle Dailies. Kind of like a mini USA Today for the US, UK, Canada, Australia or whatever nationality the majority of cruisers on that particular journey were. I’m guessing that they were made up by the cruise line headquarters and then faxed. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/1368597-doing-away-with-daily-news-sheet/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happy cruzer Posted February 2, 2019 #32 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Can anyone explain how the Manhattan Dining Room works when you like to dance? Can you arrive at say 6 and eat and dance over three hours or so? I read a review that mentioned that they had danced each night when they dined in the Manhattan dining room. Do you request a particular table or area near the dance floor? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoak Posted February 3, 2019 #33 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Another question on the Manhattan dining room. I understand it is more upscale. WHat is the required attire? Is it pants? Do you need jacket? Or are nice shorts and collared shirt required? Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare misguy Posted February 3, 2019 #35 Share Posted February 3, 2019 You can ask for a table near the dance floor. I believe they had music every night. If you eat early, no one is going to run you out. I will be posting the freestyle dailies in a few days and I think they show what times they had live music. That was our favorite restaurant, and we ate there almost everynight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackets are optional. This is for Manhattan and Le Bistro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasgingerbread Posted February 10, 2019 #39 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hi, thought I'd ask since you're discussing dailies. Is this information Ion the dailies) also posted in the app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Bogle Posted February 10, 2019 #40 Share Posted February 10, 2019 The app is not as concise as the dailies but does list the majority of events under "what's going on". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not sure that everyone read it right before going to bed. A lot of info in that 5 page daily that was single spaced. We had no problems as we didn’t schedule any excursions but if the room steward had forgotten to put the announcement on the bed you could conceivably miss your excursion LoveToTravel, thanks for your follow up. We just got off the Breakaway on February 7 and I followed your comments while you were on your cruise. For us we had freestyle daily on our bed every night, if a time change was to take place we had a card also. Also just FYI for others, a freestyle daily can be picked up at customer service if it was not left in your cabin or better yet the NCL app can be used to check your account, daily activities and notices of time changes or other happenings. Your myths and facts are spot on, and there are probably a few more to add, again thanks for thanking time to post, it helps those who only read negative reviews.

Rare misguy Posted February 10, 2019 #48 Share Posted February 10, 2019 We made reservations for most nights, but even when we didn't we were seated within a few minutes.
